This device is running a bare-bone Samba server which allows easy
transfer of files and directories between any networked desktop PC and
your networked PDA.
Since it is generally a bad idea to allow everyone read and write access
to your PDA, you will have to configure at least one user to get access to
any shared folder.
How to create a Samba user with password:
- If you haven't already created a non-root user, do so now:
root@poodle:/usr/bin# adduser testuser
Changing password for testuser
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
Enter new password:
Bad password: too short.
Warning: weak password (continuing).
Re-enter new password:
Password changed.
root@poodle:/usr/bin#
- Note that the password you entered will _not_ be your samba password.
Samba uses its own password database.
- Add a Samba password for your user:
root@poodle:/usr/bin# smbpasswd -a testuser
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user testuser.
root@poodle:/usr/bin#
- After you have added your new samba user, you'll have to restart the samba
server by running "/etc/init.d/samba restart" or by rebooting the device
- Use the newly created username / password combination to access your network
shares. Please note the the Samba username must also exist as a unix username!
